Special Forces: I Can See the Experience Bar

Chapter 238 The tip of the iceberg

He was very familiar with the tiger patch coming down the mountain; the night tiger was the starting point of his military career, how could he forget it?

"Why are you all alone in Changning?"

Although the speaker's face was covered in thick camouflage, Chang Ning recognized him at a glance from his voice and physique as Gray Wolf. The burly man who subdued the Blue Army sergeant in one move must be Captain Gao.

Apart from him, there are no tall people over 1.8 meters in Group A.

"Changning?"

Before Chang Ning could reply, the Blue Army sergeant, who was tied up and had difficulty moving, struggled to raise his head and open his eyes wide, trying to confirm whether the person next to the private was indeed Chang Ning.

Judging from the voice, oh well, it's the second squad leader.

"Never mind, let me finish dealing with it."

Zhong raised his hand to signal Chang Ning not to answer his question yet, as the Blue Team members were still there and it wasn't the right time to talk.

Although the higher-ups have repeatedly emphasized that the exercise is the same as real combat, there are still differences. Who knows if the eliminated guys on the ground will reveal information about them to the Blue Army?

Chang Ning watched helplessly as the high school team leader cleanly and efficiently knocked out the second squad leader, his movements as practiced as eating and drinking.

After knocking out the second squad leader and that private, it wasn't over yet. The high-ranking captain and Gray Wolf then tore off their armbands and put them on, transforming themselves into Red Army soldiers.

Chang Ning thought of a serious problem: if the high school team's behavior was caught, would they no longer be able to enjoy the Geneva Convention?

Are special forces soldiers protected by conventions?
He hadn't really thought about that.

"What are you thinking about? Come with us, it's not safe here."

Gray Wolf chuckled and patted Chang Ning on the shoulder, pulling him back from the jumbled, chaotic thoughts in his mind.

"okay."

Once she came to her senses, Chang Ning quickly left the scene of the incident with the gray wolf that was leading the way.

As for him spacing out behind enemy lines, you're kidding! That's not a problem at all.

Standing next to him was the former "First Warrior of the Western Front" and now the ceiling of Wolf Fang's overall combat strength, Wild Wolf High School Team. Gray Wolf may seem kind and amiable, but he is a ruthless character.

The fact that he's been able to serve as the vice-captain of the high school team for so many years speaks volumes.

With these two powerful figures protecting him, what does he have to fear?

Let alone being in a daze, Chang Ning would even dare to run up to the Blue Army's arrest team and swagger around.

Of course, the premise is that the Blue Army's capture team cannot be too large; if there are too many people, even Captain Gao and Gray Wolf cannot cover him.

"Tell me, where are the others? Are you the only one left?"

After realizing that the above situation was not impossible, the high school team leader's expression turned unusually grim.

If the Lone Wolf team is down to just the three of them, it's definitely a blow.

Looking back and thinking about it carefully, Gao Zhong felt a sense of relief.

After all, they withstood a round of intense artillery fire; it's good enough that they weren't completely wiped out, so what more could they ask for?

After mentally preparing himself, Gao Zhongdui felt much better.

Seeing that the senior team leader seemed to have misunderstood something, Chang Ning quickly clarified, not wanting the senior team leader to continue to overthink things.

Does anyone know what the high school team was imagining?
"The others weren't with me."

Our plan is to split up and, if we manage to sneak out, rejoin the wolf leader.

Chang Ning spilled all the details of Group B's action plan to the senior high school team.

"Go back?"

That's fine."

After patiently listening to Chang Ning's report, Gao Zhong was momentarily stunned, clearly not expecting Group B to choose to go back.

The fact that Group B, composed of young men with an average age of 20, would make such a choice was quite unexpected for both the high school team and the Grey Wolves.

In their plan, Group B might choose to fight head-on, continuing to cause trouble in the Blue Team's territory until they are caught.

"How many people were lost?" After asking about Group B's plans, Gray Wolf saw that Captain Gao was not very interested, so he took over and continued to ask Chang Ning about Group B's situation.

"The two are Geng Jihui and the paratrooper."

When it came to the losses, Chang Ning's expression became as somber as that of the high school team leader.

“Only two!”

Unlike Chang Ning's reaction, Gray Wolf's tone was excited, as if losing two people was some great news, and even the high school team's morale was boosted.

Is it...

Chang Ning's heart stirred slightly as he considered a possibility.

Such a surprised expression only appears after exceeding psychological expectations, even though Team B lost two people, a sniper and a commander.

Grey Wolf didn't give Chang Ning a chance to continue guessing. He calmly recounted Group A's experience, which was exactly what Chang Ning had guessed.

"As you guessed, everyone in Group A except the two of us has withdrawn from the exercise."

At this point, Gray Wolf added, "They weren't killed by the Night Tiger reconnaissance company; they were just unlucky enough to be hit by artillery fire."

This time, Gray Wolf predicted Chang Ning's prediction. Which of the people who can join Lone Wolf isn't as cunning as a fox?

Chang Ning's subtle facial expressions were enough for a master like Gray Wolf to "read her mind".

"What are your plans, Gao Zhong and you? Why don't we go back together?"

Chang Ning has the kind of personality that believes in "keeping the green hills alive means there's always firewood to burn." He is always cautious about tasks that require adapting to circumstances, and this personality trait is a great advantage when carrying out long-term missions.

"Heh, go back?"
There are only two of us left in Group A, so going back won't do us any good.

Grey Wolf and I are planning to give the Blue Team a good beating here!

Before meeting Chang Ning, Gao Zhongdui had also considered retreating; he couldn't let the Lone Wolf Special Assault Team be wiped out here.

That outcome was a significant blow to both Captain He and Wolf Fang.

Everything changed after hearing the good news brought by Chang Ning.

Anyway, it doesn't matter much whether he and the Grey Wolf go back or not, since only he and the Grey Wolf are left in Group A. It's more worthwhile to take a big bite out of the Blue Team.

Special forces are meant to achieve great things with limited resources.

"Alright, it's a pleasant surprise that we know about Group B."

Your plan is fine. Gray Wolf and I will distract the Blue Team here and help you create an opening.

That's all the help we can give you right now.

The senior captain's tone was full of unquestionable iron-bloodedness; his words were now orders, not a negotiation with Chang Ning.

Considering his other role on the high school team, such behavior makes perfect sense.

Wild Wolf is not only the leader of Group A, but also the captain of Lone Wolf.

The position of Group A leader is just a side job; being the captain of Lone Wolf is his primary responsibility. Even Lieutenant Chang Ning is under the command of Captain Gao.

"Not necessarily. Captain He still hopes you'll go back."

Chang Ning was unwilling to give up and wanted to try to persuade him again.

When Captain He was mentioned, Captain Gao and Gray Wolf's expressions turned strange.

They knew Captain He better than Chang Ning did.

He was willing to trade two of them for five young players, especially since they were surrounded.

"The trap was clearly Lei Keming's doing. Would he let you leave so easily without paying something? Chang Ning, you underestimate him!"

Chang Ning understood what the senior team leader meant, but for some reason he felt a tightness in his chest, a tightness that made it hard for him to breathe.

Is this Lei Keming, a man whom even Captain He must treat with caution?

At this moment, Chang Ning saw only the tip of the iceberg of Lei Keming's abilities.
